Will you keep your 4runner if gas hits $8 a gallon?

[Nick Nostril]

I'd have to believe that there will be an oil well in my suburban backyard here in Ohio before gas got like that in 'murica. Any politician who jacked gas taxes up that much would be out on their keister next cycle too.

You will never convince me that since Jan.20th....things will not go to shit. Gas over 3.00 bucks a gallon as a whole....propane over 3.00 a gallon...1.70. 6 months ago....i guess for all the white colored people...it dont matter...but for the less unfortunate...it makes one hell of a difference!

Yes.

Why is that? UK taxes mostly?

Yes, it's just the way things are sadly.

What is the rate of fuel duty?
The two main categories of road fuel – ultra-low sulphur petrol and ultra-low sulphur diesel – are charged duty at 57.95p per litre.

When VAT is included, tax represents just over 60% of the final pump price for petrol and diesel.

With the average petrol motorist said to spend an average of £1,042 on petrol each year, fuel duties amount to a tax charge of around £600 per year, per motorist.

In 2019/20 fuel duty tax receipts in the United Kingdom amounted to approximately £27.57 billion British pound. This was significantly more than the £21 billion raised by alcohol and tobacco duties combined.

Bare in mind this is paid for with wages that have already been TAXED!

I paid $2.32/gallon for my truck 3 weeks ago. $2.99 a gallon today. :Cry:
I guess the likely hood of little bit of snow has people in hysteria mode.:smash:

At $8 gallon it will get less use, but would keep it for sure. And since prices for used suvs will only go down in that sort of market, why sell into it?

 

[Oldmanb777]

I just paid $3.09 to fill up the wife's GX today. Mid grade, not premium.

It’s my road trip/toy/family car for the most part but I have an EV and a Corolla for commuting anyway. Want to keep the 4Runner until it’s run into the ground lol.

I drove when gas hit $4.80/gal in my city.
$70, the pump limit, would only fill my suv at the time to 3/4 tank. And the worry of having your gas in your tank stolen was real with reports of it happening daily.
I would still be driving around at $8 a gallon. Untill I get so frustrated fixing holes in the tank and the cut gas lines used to siphon my hard earned money.

Thanks for that link. Yep, high gas prices are another part of the high cost of living in the west. Especially in larger cities and along the interstate highways. Someone’s gotta pay for that clean(er) air. :shocked:

 

[TRD-Bro]

Might have to look into an EV conversion if gas hits $8/gallon!

Yes but I won't open it up on the highways as much to hear my CAI grumble!

 

[ravens_wood]

Yes I will keep the 4Runner as I didn't purchase to be a daily commuter. That would've been foolish. It's a donkey but great for hauling dogs, camping gear and bikes. Bike commuting or public transportation to the office is the play and has been lovely.

 

[Swipter]

I live 5 miles from my job and it's paid off. I learned a lesson back when gas went to 4.25 in the mids 2000s. I had a 2005 GMC Sierra Z71. I loved that thing. It was paid off but thought by going to a camery I would save money. The 400 monthly car payment trumped any savings over the 70 I paid every 9 days in gas.

I will not make that mistake again.

 

[Prudii]

Since I don't make payments on it I cant see myself selling it. I've been thinking about buying another vehicle. Probably something efficient that's cheap to maintain and fuel.

 

[cocojoe53]

We could only hope....

I wish it would go to 8 a gallon. Maybe then there might be some incentive for Toyota to update it. Right now they are selling more 4Runners then ever before and it is the highest profit margin car or truck they sell, so why would they ever update it?

What could be updated? Hybrid Synergy Drive, as a whole, wouldn’t be bad.

I like that system, as a whole, but not sure how a CVT would do in a 4Runner.
